I would check back on your order...MassDrop is having issues with that GB. More than 1/2 of people pulled out of it because they are not getting some questions/concerns answered on the discussion board. If they don't get the number of interested buyers back over 100, the 'drop' won't happen

This is news to people?! LOL Though the bit about adding weight was interesting...but yeah, they are a "Lifestyle/Trend" headphone and since we know how substantial those tend to be, they build them as such to make as much money as possible.

Shouldn't be news, but even still, they're just about marketing. They know the people they're marketing to well - they care about being seen not about audio.

Figure why mess around, just get one and be over with. But reviews were very good, so I went with it. When I got it, Woo Audio was still relatively small and I figured the person that puts a name on their product and owns the company is responding to my emails, I should be safe.
